He has made 22 recommendations, including abolishing the local area command structure and using private security or resources from Corrective Services NSW to transfer prisoners to court.

Police Minister Mike Gallacher says he has asked Police Commissioner Andrew Scipione to examine and respond to the report.

"We don't believe the current structure is necessarily the best structure," Mr Gallacher said.

"Mr Parsons has put up an alternative and now I have said to the commissioner I would like you to work your way through this report to put a proposition to Government to meet our outcome, and that is to lift the profile of our police."

Mr Gallacher says the Government is not waiting before acting on one recommendation, to send more officers to regional parts of NSW.

"That actually takes effect this Friday. The graduating class at the academy of about 500 people, 300 will be going to country and regional New South Wales," he said.

The report does more than recommend putting extra officers in regional areas.

It has also suggested setting up a new authority to focus on supplying housing for officers posted outside metropolitan areas.

Opposition Leader John Robertson says he hopes Sydney's policing needs are not forgotten.

"This report needs to ensure that we see more police resources also in western and south-western Sydney, where we have seen a massive increase in crime, particularly drive-by shootings, in the last 12 months," Mr Robertson said.

"Policing is now becoming a much more strategic operation and resources need to go where they're needed most."
